GLOBAL ICE CREAM MARKET
 The rise in income, along with an increase in demand for
sweet dishes, drives the growth of this market.

 New innovative flavors that brands have come up with,

act as a major driver for the market. Also, the cheaper
price of the private label ice-creams is increasing the
demand.

 The sales of low-quality ice cream has been declining,

due to the increased preference for premium ice cream.
Few of those premium ice creams have gained popularity
among health-conscious consumers due to the presence
of low calorie/no sugar claims compared to regular ice
creams.

NOTABLE KEY TRENDS
 ICE CREAM AS LUXURY PRODUCT – The ingredients
added, texture, color, flavor, packaging, the technology
used, the circumstances of the purchase and consumption,
all these contribute to a premium product.

 CHILD FOCUSED FLAVOURS – Children are the major

consumers of ice cream, thus companies are producing
products as per the interest of children

 NEW FLAVOR INNOVATIONS – Introduction of limited

flavors such as: Vanilla Galaxy Twist, Peanut Butter 'S'mores
Smash, Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Crunch, and White
Chocolate Raspberry Lava Cake.

COMMON INGREDIENTS
FATS
 Gives body to ice cream
 Imparts smooth and creamy texture
 Increases richness of the flavor

NON-FAT MILK SOLIDS

 Controls the total protein content
 Affects the emulsification of fat and improves texture
 Affects water retention
 Provides a higher overrun without the snowy or flaky texture

EMULSIFIER
 Combines substances which tend to separate from each
 Affects overrun, meltdown, texture, mouthfeel, and ease of extrusion

COMMON INGREDIENTS
STABILIZER
 Inhibits formation of large ice crystals
 Provides resistance to melting
 Contributes to overall smoothness and texture

SWEETENERS
 Adds sweetness and improves texture and body
 Lowers freezing point
 Acts as pre-blend with other solid ingredients to make dispersion
easier

FLAVORING
 Creates specialty taste
 Enhances acceptability
 Comes in both natural and artificial varieties

COMMON INGREDIENTS
AIR
 Combines substances which tend to separate from each
 Affects overrun, meltdown, texture, mouthfeel, and ease of
extrusion

OVERRUN: The incorporation of air into the ice cream during

processing results to an increase in the volume of the final product
greater than the volume of the mix. If properly controlled, added air
would eliminate the production of a soggy, heavy product.

RICOVIS 82

 As TEXTURIZER – provides smooth and homogenous

meltdown.

 As VISCOSITY BUILDER – aids in increasing the viscosity of the

ice cream mix.

 As PROTEIN STABILIZER – inhibits the precipitation of casein

by binding with the casein globules.

HOMOGENIZE
HOMOGENIZATION:
 Reduces fat droplet size and
creates a stable emulsion.
 Changes the physical and
chemical function of the milk fat
globule membrane by increasing
the available surface area.

FIRST STEP: The mix is preheated to a temperature
of 71.6°C to 75°C.
SECOND STEP: The mix is subjected to a pressure of
140 to 210 kg/cm2 to reduce fat globule diameter to
less than 2 m.
THIRD STEP: The mix is subjected to a pressure of
30 to 50 kg/cm2 to prevent fat globules from
recoalescing.

COLLECT ICE CREAM INTO A CLEAN CONTAINER AND STORE IN FREEZER

Proper storage of the ice cream

prevents heat shock that leads
to “freeze-thaw” conditions
that result in ice crystal growth
and much coarser texture for

MELTING RATE
Melting rate has
the greatest
significance to the
consumer when
eating ice cream. If
the product melts
too fast, a messy
situation often
ensues. However, a
slow melting rate
can also be
indicative of
defective ice cream.
